How do I get started with meal preparation?

Begin by choosing simple recipes you enjoy, investing in basic storage containers, and dedicating a few hours on one day each week to prepare your meals. Start with breakfast or lunch before expanding to multiple meals.

What equipment do I need for meal prep?

Essential items include quality knives, cutting boards, a range of storage containers, measuring tools, and basic cookware. More advanced equipment like food processors and instant pots can speed up the process, but aren't necessary to start.
